A Practical Method to Assess Bird Strike Risk in Air Operations Using a Count-Based Risk Mitigation Tool. [PDF]

Risk Anal
ABSTRACT Bird strikes pose a risk to aviation. Collisions between birds and airplanes result in a threat to human lives, economic losses, and material damage. The majority of these collisions occur on airfields during takeoff and landing. Knowing what bird species are present on airfields, in what numbers, and relating that to the extent to which these

Bill Length of Non-breeding Shorebirds Influences the Water Depth Preferences for Foraging in the West Coast of India. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Body size, bill length and shape determine the foraging techniques, habitat selection and diet among shorebirds. In this study, water depth preferences of different shorebirds with different bill sizes in various habitats were investigated between 2017 and 2020.

Coastal Shorebirds Delay Maturity More Than Inland Ones. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Migratory shorebirds frequenting coastal non‐breeding habitats delay maturity, as expressed in the age of first return migration, more than the species using inland freshwater habitats. ABSTRACT Delaying the age of first breeding will lower lifetime reproductive output unless compensated for by increased fecundity or survival.

Datasets of Bird Species Composition in a Land Reclamation Area of Lake Kahokugata, Central Japan, in Relation to Various Farmland Types. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We present a dataset describing bird assemblages in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape surrounding Lake Kahokugata, located in a snow‐rich region on the Sea of Japan side of central Japan. Our data is useful in providing insights into how landscape heterogeneity, cropland composition, and seasonal dynamics influence bird diversity in snowy ...

Birds of Berlin: Changes in communities and guilds in the urban park "Tiergarten" since 1850. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Abstract Urbanization has far‐reaching consequences on birds, and knowledge of the impacts on taxonomic and functional diversity is necessary to make cities as compatible as possible for species. Avian diversity in parks in urban centers has been investigated multiple times, but rarely so in long‐term studies due to lacking data.

Cages Mitigate Predation on Eggs of Threatened Shorebirds: A Manipulative-Control Study

Conservation, 2022
Beach-nesting birds (plovers; Aves; Charadridae) are impacted by many natural and human-induced threats (e.g., people trampling, dogs, and natural predators). In this regard, the use of anti-predator cages on their nests is effective in order to mitigate

Do the weaknesses and strengths of experts and local volunteers affect the conservation actions focused on nesting plovers? Constructive considerations from the Italian beachfront line

Avocetta, 2020
Both the high-level strategies promoted by experts of public Conservation Agencies, and the small-scale tactics implemented by local conservation groups show strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that can affect the effectiveness of the ...

Faeces, Feathers and Flight: Understanding of Escape Behaviour in Incubating Eurasian Woodcocks (<i>Scolopax rusticola</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using a large dataset of nest photographs from open‐source platforms, we investigated defecation and fright moulting in incubating Eurasian woodcocks (Scolopax rusticola), finding defecation in 54% of nests and feathers in 67%. We suggest these behaviours may aid the female's escape rather than protect the nest, and highlight the importance of ...

Can aggregate quarry silt lagoons provide resources for wading birds? [PDF]

, 2017
Wading birds have declined across Europe as the intensification of lowland agriculture has resulted in the loss and degradation of wetland areas. Lowland aggregate extraction sites that incorporate areas of fine, waste sediments deposited in silt lagoons
